Israel has rebuffed US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s call for a “humanitarian pause” in Gaza.

Mr Blinken said he had discussed the idea with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials during their talks in Tel Aviv.

But in a TV statement minutes later, Mr Netanyahu said Israel rejected “a temporary ceasefire that does not include the release of our hostages”.

He said that Israel was “continuing with all our force” against Hamas.

    Not my point, Israel should stop not only to save palestinian innocent lifes but also because this “strategy” is counter productive and just doesn’t work. They are just both bad though. Those Palestinians kids would grow up hating Israel just like Israel hates them. I had friends traveling to Israel early this year and they were kinda shocked when they learned from more than one Israeli than Palestinians are considered a problem and that they have “almost finished” with them. I know exactly how shitty they are
